Re: Mannix

Hi, Kathie,The Mannix family in the Malone, Franklin NY area are related to my Hickeys and Mannix. Thomas Hickey of Streamhill, Doneraile, Co. Cork came to Ontario, Canada about 1828, we think. Back in Doneraile, the Hickey family and the Mannix family are connected.Thomas' father and mother had several other children. Then his mother died. The father remarried to Mary Wise. This union produced a daughter, Margaret Mary Hickey. Then the Hickey father died. Mary Wise Hickey then remarried to ____ (possibly a Timothy Sr. ) Mannix. Mr. Mannix had a son, Timothy by his first wife. Timothy Mannix (prob. Jr.) married Margaret Mary Hickey. About 1834, Timothy Mannix and Margaret Mary Hickey and their older children immigrated to Boston, Mass, USA. Margaret Mary Hickey's mother, Mary Wise Hickey Mannix came with them. Later they were joined by Bridget Hickey, step dau. of Mary Wise Hickey Mannix (dau. of father Hickey and his first wife)Timothy Mannix had a grocery store in Boston for several years before the family moved to Malone, Franklin Co. NY area. Meanwhile, Thomas Hickey and his wife, Catherine Curran settled nearby in Barnhardt's Island, Massena Twp., St. Lawrence Co. NY. We have a group of descendants of Hickeys and Mannix that are working together on this extended family. We'd love to share what we know with you and exchange what you know of the family.ehwilson@charter.netElsie Hickey Wilson
